Occasional wine note

This is a fantastic representation of the Barbaresco wine region in terms of the color, flavors, and aromas. Loads of ripe dark fruits, with earthy undertones, herbs, and hints of those tell-tale tar and roses aromas, and grippy tannins. This one will get better over the next 5 years+.

What experts say about this wine

Jeb Dunnuck

No crus were produced in 2018. The 2018 Barbaresco is aromatically expressive, with a perfumed and mineral character, with rocky earth. It has medium body, good concentration, and plenty of fruit and mineral earth that drive through the finish. An outstanding value, Best After 2025

Wine Advocate

Packaged in its distinctive brown paper label, the Produttori del Barbaresco 2018 Barbaresco is a beautifully lean and luminous expression of Nebbiolo, and that pretty color should remain intact over time. The aromas are bold and ripe with dark and purple fruit, but the bouquet shows interesting twists with earth, truffle, licorice and grilled herb. As the wine opens in the glass, you begin to notice heavier aromas of raisin and dried apricot.It wears a warm-vintage signature for sure, and for that reason, I would suggest a shorter drinking window for the 2018.
